The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mabch 9, 100{5. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



There has been quite a slump in the 

 cut flower trade the past week, owing to 

 the scarcity of decorations, and prices 

 have faJlen oflP considerably. Bulbous 

 stock, sweet peas, migonette and violets 

 are a glut on the market. Good roses 

 have not been over plentiful, but quan- 

 tities of short Beauties and Maids are 

 to be had at your own price. Quantities 

 of fancy carnations are arriving which 

 are sold at low prices. 



Death of C T. Siebert. 



C. T. Siebert, one of the oldest and 

 best known florists of this section, died 

 Tuesday, March 7, at 4 a. m. Mr. Sie- 

 bett had been in poor health for several 

 years, but still continued his business, 

 greenhouses on Stanton avenue and 

 stand in the Liberty Market, and was 

 just completing a handsome building 

 with conservatory attached in the fash- 

 ionable part of the east end which would 

 have been opened this week. He was 

 admired and loved by all for his kind 

 and lovablef disposition, and one never 

 met him without feeling the better for 

 his cheery laugh. The craft would be 

 honored if it had more such men. 



Various Notes. 



Geddis & Blind Bros, had a handsome 

 window Saturday, arranged in green and 

 yellow, which attracted a great deal of 

 attention. 



Wm. Cromack, of Irwin, Pa., is instal- 

 ling a new tubular boiler at his plant. 



Blind Brothers are waiting for the 

 weather to open to start on the erection 

 of another greenhouse 20x200. 



Chas. Peterson, of East Liverpool, 

 Ohio, lost his store in the big fire last 

 week. He has not yet found a new lo- 

 cation, and is doing his work at the 

 greenhouse. 



J. J. Zimmerman has sold his business 

 on Mt. Washington to G. J. Learzaf and 

 started for Ocean Park, Cal., last Fri- 

 day night. 



B. L. Elliott and wife will start for 

 Los Angeles, Cal., next Thursday. He 

 may locate there if something good 

 presents itself. 



Fred Burki met with an accident last 

 week, breaking several ribs. This, with 

 a slight attack of grip, has confined him 

 to his home. 



' Andy and John Hellstern, of Wheel- 

 ing, W. Va.. have the sympathy of the 

 trade in the loss of their father, who 

 died March 6, aged 84 years. 



A portion of the interior of the Al- 

 legheny market was burned Sunday 

 morning. G. & J. W. Ludwig met 

 with a slight loss through the burning of 

 their work stand. Hoo-Hoo.
